Halle Berry recently revealed she was considering playing a transgender character in an upcoming film. After receiving backlash for her remarks, Berry took to Instagram to issue an apology.
Berry first revealed she was considering the role while speaking with hairstylist Christin Brown during an IGTV interview on Saturday. Berry said she wanted to „experience that world“ and „understand that world,“ referring to the transgender experience.
„[The role is] a character where the woman is a trans character, so she’s a woman that transitioned into a man,“ Berry said. „She’s a character in a project I love that I might be doing.“
„Who this woman was is so interesting to me, and that will probably be my next project,“ she said.
Berry received backlash on social media for using the wrong pronouns to describe the character throughout the interview. She also received backlash for considering herself a candidate to play a transgender man.
